Garlic For Breakfast

I promise not to make a cooking blog out of this, but I'm all euphoric from a delicious breakfast.

In addition to only wearing the clothes that others have cast aside, making sure to use up all your leftovers is an important part of being a cheapskate. Last night, Mrs. G and I had steaks with some ziti in oil and garlic on the side. The only thing left over was a spoonful of the pasta:

I like using leftover pasta as a breakfast treat. To start, saute the ziti in a little bit of olive oil mixed with butter:

When it just starts to get a little crispy at the edges, add two eggs beaten with a splash of milk:

When the eggs are almost set, flip the whole thing over, add some shredded Romano cheese to one side , and fold like an omelet. (Real Romano cheese. One thing I do not skimp on are my imported Italian foods.)

Enjoy with buttered toast, and some gut-wrenchingly strong stovetop coffee:

i love my bialetti. it definitely got me through freshman year of college. i had an illegal hot plate in my dorm room and would make espresso all day and night to make it through exams. i thought my favorite aunt from naples was crazy when she gave it to me as a high school graduation present.....clearly, she had more foresight than i did.
